Hows the cheap people’s activation problem? lol
Why is a MacOS related screenshot posted in a Linux community for a question about Windows?
And what’s with all the upvotes?
Probably because of “Linux is winning”. ;-)

MacOS is UNIX, Linux is UNIX, if I’m not mistaken.
No, Linux is not UNIX. It is UNIX like. MacOS is UNIX, based on a BSD system.
Linux could be unix if someone wanted to pay to have it certified. It’s meaningless.
BSD isn’t Unix. It’s fairest to say it is a Unix. Unix was built in Murray Hill and maintained by a succession of corporations and now sits locked in a safe at a company where they will never have the clue or interest to maintain or distribute it, thanks to IBM. Everything else is just sparkling multics.

And it’s neat to see how well IBM killed the competition who dared to cry code-rape.
Linux is unix-like.
Windows is the safe (or was) default. If you walk into most companies, that’s what everyone has. If you buy a PC, that’s what’s installed. Using Linux or Mac is a conscious choice. That “us vs. them” feeling tends to foster community.
Windows was never the safe option, it was the anticompetative option that took away the safe options!! Windows has always been quite genuinely the least secure, least stable, least maintainable option.
“thats whats installed” I remember those times, but now Microsoft is forcing you to bloat your cheaper PC with win11, otherwise it will be out of date.Thats the problem now.
If you’re ditching more popular social medias for less popular open source ones, you’re probably already a Linux User.
They exist, they’re just more corporate and centralized, and inundated with basic tech support questions due to the huge install base.
Like this: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/category/windows
If you dig deep enough in there you’ll find administrators talking about powershell hacks and devops and group policy and stuff like that. There’s probably people who are “passionate” about Windows, I’d imagine, but since it’s closed source there’s only so much you can do without being literally an employee of MS. The people I’ve met like this are kind of smugly defensive about Windows because they’ve invested so much training and knowledge into its arcana, but it’s not exactly “passion”.
I do sysadmin and hate all Microsoft software from Windows to their cloud offerings.
Idk how many people I have met who don’t know what windows is despite using it for years. For them it is Mac and PC (pc meaning windows), anything outside of that is black magic or hacker stuff.
Customers don’t make good good communities.
loolloddol
Why are there no closed source communities on open source reddit?
'Cause Lemmy.
